When saving downloads is there a way to instruct Firefox to save the download to a different folder other than the default?

I downloaded a printer driver to Firefox's default downloads. I started the exe file and a window opened so I could install the driver. I selected run, and the window closed and nothing happened. I finally had to use MS IE in order to save the file to a different folder. I was then able to decompress the file and install it. Is there an option in Firefox to override the default downloads folder with a folder of my choosing? Running Win 7 Home Prem 64 bit, FF 5.0.1.
